Disliked: Cleanliness
A pillow had hairs on it, the bed smelled like sweat and my wife and I couldn't sleep. I complained to the person at the desk, and the manager appologized, and offered a fifty percent discount next time. We will never staty there again. I hope they get their act together...

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Very accommodating, nice employees. Room was big and very clean even had a toothbrush and toothpaste incase you forget yours. Would definitely stay here again!
The inn was very clean and updated! It’s within a block of the beach and there were several options for restaurants around the area. The staff was delightful and helpful. It was a great experience and I plan to go back soon!
There was no blackout curtains you could not hear the ocean waves like they said the property was not on the actual beach they said it was and you could not find a barbecue pit to barbecue like they said they did the room floors wear filthy I had brand new pair of white socks on by the time I hit the bed my socks were black there was no dresser doors to put ur clothes in
The only thing I like about the room was the refrigerator and the microwave. I will never rent there ever again.

The room was dirty and definitely needs paint. Baseboards, doors, shower all super dirty. Would never stay there again. Way over priced and $50 dog fee. Would not recommend this motel. Also the keys cards were demagnetized after 1 day.
room was clean but i should have booked a king size bed.. we did not sleep good because bed is just a queen size.. but over all place was clean and staff were nice
I’ve had a lovely experience staying at this place. The place was very clean. The bed was comfortable, there were inly 3 pillows but you can request for more. The only thing that was a downside was the WiFi. It was very slow and difficult to connect to. But I had cell service so it’s not a big deal. Walk to the beach was 5 minutes and it was the highlight of my short stay.
It’s cute for what it is. The receptionist was super friendly. The shower looks like it needs some update or a super clean. The toilet paper roll was almost out when we first entered and there isn’t a spare under the sink.
